Padre Pio, who I miss quote sometimes, said that he took the will of his Bishop to be the Will of God.  Every priest and  Bishop, all the clergy and everyone in a place of power and authority in the Church are there because God Willed it.  They are people and people are not perfect; so  we should pray for them.  One exorcist priest told me "There are no gun-slinger exorcists."  He was speaking as a man from a place of natural fear and witnessing that it is our Lord Jesus Christ Who delivers.  Jesus Christ is the Redeemer.

  When we are faced with problems or situations well beyond ourselves our only Hope is in Jesus Christ.  Christ tells us He gladly takes on our problems and will help us; but we have to enthrone Christ over the situation.  We do this in prayer.  If you read the lives of the Saints,  they when confronted with similar circumstances always gave the clergy the widest sense of  latitude while constraining themselves to the tightest moral and ethical conduct,  We see this in the Life of Jesus Christ.

   I understand the way you feel but this may not be the most healthy attitude to have spiritually.  Place that burden with Christ and set yourself free.  Many people have been confronted with this very problem.  If one learns the way of Christ, patience, home & trust all will be elevated.

In this case, we will have to agree to disagree. Priests are like anyone else in the sense that they are all different. I have been down this road myself, and I speak from experience. I have spoken with several Priests about my situation, and know from experience that finding the right Priest can make a huge difference. Some of the Priests I talked with had a grain or two of good advice, even though they clearly stated that they do not believe such things as this can, and do, happen. Some were totally indifferent. Out of all the Priests I talked with, only one, besides an Exorcist Priest appointed by the Bishop, had any real insight. This Priest, in fact, is truly awesome, and is dealing with the same thing himself.

No disrecpect intended, but I will repeat once again, make sure you find a Priest who not only realizes that this sort of thing does happen, but also has the proper insight to help you to deal with it.

It is 1:57 am and I am in my room woken from a very demonic dream. My dream was me texting a demon. The only two things I remember is the word time and me typing “wait XD” this exactly. but when I was texting I felt like i was not in my body anymore. Like it was being taken away from me. It was very scary. I could not wake up and I was trapped. I prayed very hard and very loud in my the hail mary. I was even praying not knowing I was praying and was saying it as I was waking up. My was laying on my back crunch up to the wall blinking very very fast staring in front of me.

Now before this happened, have mercy on my soul, I watched… porn and had masterbated. I am still stuck in that sin. I have gotten much much better. Hardly ever do it except for tonight. So as the guilt settled in… I was asking God “Wake me up Lord, wake me up” as in a wake up call for my spirituality and then I received a very demonic nightmare an hour later.

Weird thing is the other night my friend slept over, I didn’t get a demonic nightmare like I did before sleeping in the basement and i was surprised… now I get on in my room??

I am so bothered by this and probably won’t get any sleep tonight.

Thanks for all your help guys

Hi, Nickybr38,

I think everyone is in agreement that a priest should be contacted about having the an exorcism performed. The devil has real power and praying for the Power of God to protect you and your family is a good action. I would also suggest that the OP consider placing some blessed objects in the basement and throughout the house. Prayers to one’s Guardian Angel is an excellent idea.

The idea of, “Nothing can hurt you” is a new one to me. There are several stories in the New Testament where the demon is not only possessing the person but causing this person harm. Mark 5 gives a good account of the possession that happened to a man in the area of of Gadarenes. We read about all the things that this guy was doing - and it certainly seems like he was being hurt.

Currently, we are talking about demonic nightmares and at least one feeling of having been bitten. The devil can cause harm - and just because he begins in one area and is not causing ‘harm’ does not mean he can not escalate his torments. I would say that the OP has already demonstrated harm - terror, loss of sleep, an aversion for the basement - and OP’s anxiety have already caused her mother to be anxious. Just like we respect a scorpion - not usually becuase it is a wonderful creature, but because it can cause us much physical harm. The devil should be respected, too.

God bless

Basements are my least favorite places to sleep! Haha.

First. Stop sleeping in the basement if it can be helped.

Second. If you MUST sleep in the basement make it as repugnant as possible to ‘evil’ things. You could play some soft Christian music while you sleep or say a prayer to St. Michael and your Guardian Angel before you sleep. Or do both! If nothing else the music will relax you.

Third. Definitely talk to your mother and see if she’s willing to have a priest come to bless the home (including the basement). If she seems hesitant just explain that it would make you feel safer.

Fourth. Know that you are protected already. You are a child of God! Nothing can hurt you. It can play tricks with you but it can’t hurt you. Be at peace knowing this.

There was a saint (I forget her name) who used to be tormented by demons in her sleep. Eventually her response to their tricks was to glare into the darkness, “Oh… it’s you again.” Then she’d roll over and go back to sleep. She knew she was protected so she wasn’t afraid.

I will pray that you can find this same level of peace knowing that you are in the hands of your loving Father.
